Homeless people are amongst the most vulnerable people in our society, suffering high levels of poverty and social exclusion.

An innovator study, carried out by Assis Shelter, and RAIS Foundation have revealed that they are also victims of exceptionally high levels of violence, crime and victimisation. This study is based on an exhaustive data collection since 1996, focusing on all homeless deaths that media have published in this period. Amazingly much of it is committed by the general public and goes unreported.
